It is crucial to understand that the Ismaili tradition of Eid prayer differs from the Salat al-Eid performed in Sunni or Twelver Shia traditions. Ismailis pray three times a day, combining the five obligatory prayers into three specific time slots. On Eid days—primarily Eid al-Fitr (marking the end of Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha (the festival of sacrifice)—the Ismaili congregational prayer takes on a special format.
The Eid Namaz in Ismailism is intimately linked to the concept of Baiyat (allegiance) to the Imam-of-the-Time. The prayer includes specific tasbihs (glorifications) and duas (supplications) that acknowledge the spiritual authority of the Imam and the gratitude for the community’s unity. Step 2 – In Jamatkhana
A unique supplication specific to the Eid day is recited. This asks for forgiveness, barakah (blessings), and the fulfillment of the Imam’s vision for peace and prosperity.
Ismaili Eid Namaz refers to the special congregational prayers and associated practices observed by some members of the Nizari Ismaili community on Eid days (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha). Practices can vary by region and local jamaat (community), and many congregations follow guidance from their local Ismaili institutional leadership (e.g., the local Jamatkhana or national council). This guide explains typical elements and points you to how to obtain a PDF of the text or guidance.
